Currículo e Educação Especial no/do campo: O que dizem as pesquisas sobre o tema

Abstract

<jats:p>This article has the following question as a problem: what do researches that tackle Special Education in/from the Countryside say about school curriculum for subjects with disability, autism spectrum disorders and high skills/giftedness? Thus, it aims to: analyze scientific production deriving from theses and dissertations produced in Brazil about the topic of Special Education in/from the Countryside, as well as if they tackle and how they tackle school curriculum for these subjects. The study was carried out by means of the adoption of bibliometric approach and content analysis, which took as a data source the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações – BDTD), which is maintained by the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology (Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia – IBICT). Results reveal 31 works on the theme of Special Education in/from the Countryside over the last 25 years. Out of these, only five works tackle school curriculum in/from the countryside for the target audience of Special Education, albeit not directly, but as a theme that emerges from the main theme tackled by their authors. Therefore, investigating about the development of school curriculum for the audience of Special Education in/from the countryside is a challenging task.</jats:p>
